I think it's pretty clear right now. Do you really think if 
soembody don't understand what a folder json or browser should
contain he ever will be able to understand what he has to do 
in ZCML? (I guess this is really not a naming problem)

Do yo have a simpler naming and/or module/package structure 
concept in mind? If so, is this not only a part of a project or 
application like a CMS etc? Do you think UI Developers should 
work out of the box with a Zope3 instance?

A browser request offers a API for collecting browser (client) 
releated informations like charset settings. This is done via the
interface IUserPreferredCharsets.

A browser request also deals with form data and collects 
the given form input into a FieldStorage object. The most important
part here is that a browser request knows how to handle file upload.

The browser request is based on the http request which does the base
stuff like cookie handling etc.
